[post_title] => Feast and Hedley & Bennett Apron
[post_content] => Make a mess and have fun doing it! We designed this apron with Feast Portland technicolor dreams in mind – bright pops of colors and strap accents that aren’t your average. The fabric is an H&B fave because it’s a sturdy denim that washes incredibly and holds up really well to serious use. It’s simple, but surprising and the more you look, the more it catches you off guard. This is a purchase you can feel extra good about as all proceeds go to Partners For a Hunger-Free Oregon.
*Ticket fee includes shipping and handling.We currently ship to the United States. You may experience longer delivery times when shipping to Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico. We do not currently ship to US territories.
Specifications

When 19 all-star chefs bring their ‘A’-game to the RoseQuarter, the awesomeness scoreboard is gonna light up like a Blazers blow-out win. Expect a high-flying affair where our featured chefs put some crazy spin-moves on the classic definition of “sandwich.” Throw down some title-worthy cocktails, exceptional craft brews and fine wines, then join our panel of esteemed judges in voting for your favorite creation. Who will hoist the coveted Sandwich Invitational championship trophy? Will there be a ticker-tape parade through downtown Portland for the winner? We refuse to speculate.

We take a full block in the heart of downtown Portland, Pioneer Courthouse Square, and transform it into a veritable mosh pit of amazing food, drink and discovery. Jump in and get friendly with more than 80 vendors, including some of the best chefs, vintners, brewers, bakers, cheesemakers and food artisans from the Northwest and across the country. The Grand Tasting is Feast’s largest tasting event, where you’ll find your favorites side by side with those who’ll define tomorrow’s taste trends—from handcrafted chocolates and cheeses to innovation of the liquid variety. Self-restraint? Wrong event, my friend…wrong event.

Come see what makes this America’s favorite Night Market event. Outside under the stars, in view of Portland’s downtown skyline and colorful Tillikum Crossing, you’ll find an irresistible array of exotic tastes, kaleidoscopic sights and DJ-fueled sounds. This high-energy, inspired by Latin-themed event is lit by festive stringed lights, warmed by the collective buzz of where to eat next, with food cooked by over 20 standout chefs from coast to coast. It’s a taste of Latin America, Spain and more right here on the banks of the Willamette. No passport or boarding pass needed. No language barrier if you just say “Mmmm!” a lot. Cue the music.

No matter what you believe, there’s always room for a little food worship on Sunday morning. Brunch Village is all about starting a little late and moving a little bit slow—bathrobe and bedhead are fully optional. But we certainly don’t take it easy with the effort. Because while you’re in Stage 4 REM sleep, we’ll be up early preparing an eye-opening international food and beverage dreamland, led by master brunch makers from New York, New Orleans, Austin and, of course, many of Portland’s brunch mainstays. It all takes place within the cozy confines of downtown Portland’s Pioneer Courthouse Square. Set your alarm. You won’t want to snooze through this one.

Join Texas Pitmaster Aaron Franklin (Franklin Barbecue, Austin) and his fellow Texans Doug Adams (Bullard, PDX), Rodney Muirhead (Podnah's Pit) and a special guest in a gritty homage to one of the world's most joyful cuisines: Tex Mex. Feast on fajitas, get your fill on steak, go crazy on chicken al carbon, make queso your blood type and get down with slushy margaritas and cold koozie-draped beer in what will be one of the final Feast events of 2017.

1:00AM - 6:59AM Sauvie Island

See you in 2018

Instagram may be where some of us live our best imaginary lives, but Eva Kosmes Flores and Danielle Firle of Secret Supper live it in real life. Join Feast and Secret Supper as we come together for one stunningly beautiful meal, held on a farm on nearby Sauvie Island. Experience one big communal table outside, set with love and attention, and food thoughtfully prepared by four of your favorite women to follow vicariously: Eva, Jessica Fiorillo of Feed Me Dearly, Joy Wilson of Joy the Baker and Ashley Alexander of Gather + Feast. Get ready for the sunset and that moment where all’s right with the world and you know you’re making good choices.
Featured winery: Wine By Joe
